Charles T. Lehman attended the public schools of Albany, Georgia, and remained with his parents until the attainment of his majority. His first work experience was as a printer's devil in a local Albany newspaper office. He served his apprenticeship in machine shops, and when he went to Birmingham in 1887 he was employed as city salesman in the wholesale meat business. In 1896 he purchased a little property and began the rebuilding and sale of second hand machinery. So skillfully was his work done, so honorable were his methods and so reasonable his prices, that the little establishment began to grow and develop, and with the passing of 30 years has swelled to large and flourishing proportions. His company handled both new and second-hand machinery, and made a specialty of rebuilding and repairing anything in the machinery line. He had the facilities for making anything from a tea kettle to a locomotive. During World War I he was busy on war contracts for the Government. He was considered a mechanical genius, and few problems in his line were too difficult to untertake or to solve. He had an excellent standing in the business circles of his community and in the confidence of those who have been associated with him.
